Wagatha Christie

[Zigenare]

Its not as exciting as Depp versus Heard (where is the poo) but just as sad.

There are certain similarities though...

The defendants in both cases are relying on the waterworks to gain sympathy - so much for "Girl Power".

However I'd argue that Depp has truly been wronged by Heard and his case is definitely less frivolous than that of a couple of tarts who became famous not through any talent of their own (none that you'd discuss in polite company anyway) but because of who they married.

And it's cost Vardy over £3 million...

Rebekah Vardy will have to pay up to £1.5m to Coleen Rooney in legal fees after losing yet another stage in the “Wagatha Christie” libel trial.

The high court on Tuesday decided that Vardy must pay 90% of Rooney’s court costs, a larger proportion than in many equivalent cases. The judge imposed the punitive charge partly because Vardy deliberately destroyed WhatsApp messages and other evidence relevant to the trial.

As a result Vardy will have to hand over £800,000 immediately to Rooney. Pending further legal discussions, she will then have to make further payments up to a maximum of £1.5m. On top of this, Vardy will have to pay her own legal costs, which could bring her combined bill to well over £3m.

The world was severely wronged by Heard, have you seen Aquaman?

I agree the WAGs have few redeeming features or interest for me.

Wonder what the cost of weeks of front page 'exposure' would cost?
Maybe the Yanks are right 'No such thing as bad publicity'

In modern times with #metoo and new levels of morality its thankfully getting less true.
